    What a delight this dog is. You can tell she has great parents; she is so adaptable and pleasant. She fit right in immediately. Sweet as can be and easily trained. What an angel.

    Cordelia was very helpful with helping me choose the right pup for what I was looking for. You can tell she had an amazing heart and wanted the best for all of her litters. Her fur family are all gorgeous and seem to be very well taken care of. I brought home the sweetest little lovebug and he couldn’t be more perfect. We are equally obsessed with eachother - it seems meant to be. ❤️ My husband and I drove to Cape Cod from Upstate NY to get our new baby. He is beautiful like his parents and we couldn’t be more happy with him. It’s been almost a week and a half and our little Ollie has adjusted so well to being home. He is the best addition to our little family. We would absolutely consider purchasing another dachshund from Cordelia again in the future!

    Cordelia was wonderful! She provided prompt replies and was more than happy to answer any questions. Not only that but, our little nugget (Buttermilk) could not be more loving and sociable! We feel so lucky and blessed to have this little fur bundle of joy in our everyday lives, all thanks to Cordelia!
